The cyclist Chris Froome, who had an anti-doping control with abnormal results in the last Tour of Spain, criticized the „misinformation“ surrounding his case, this Wednesday in his first public appearance since that revelation, coinciding with his start of the season on the Route del Sol, in Andalusia.

Chris Froome, who suffered an abnormal anti-doping control in September in the Vuelta a España, but has not been sanctioned for now, will begin his 2018 season next week in the Vuelta a Andalucía -Ruta del Sol-, announced on Monday the Sky team .

The Spaniard Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) won on Thursday the second stage of the Vuelta a Valencia, disputed on 154 km between Bétera and Albuixech, rising with the yellow jersey of the leader of the race.

The Spanish Alejandro Valverde, recovered from a serious fall suffered in the Tour de France of 2017, returns to the competition this week in the cycling Challenge of Mallorca, where he will be accompanied by his compatriot Mikel Landa, star signing of Movistar.

The President of the International Cycling Union (UCI), David Lappartient, wished the Sky team did not run his leader Chris Froome pending the decision concerning his abnormal doping control of the last Vuelta and feared that the case dragged on, „at least a year“.

After establishing the record of five crowns in the Tour and a first victory in the Giro as spectacular targets for 2018, Chris Froome must save before an unexpected obstacle: the ‚abnormal‘ anti-doping control in the last Vuelta, which threatens to ruin with his ambitions for the next season.
